Very true,Tea.But
adoption, usually, is an option. I can understand why some would not want to be
foster parents,and have to give them up.
There are many reasons why
people don't have children. Some of the reasons are good ones, such as an
unstable spouse. Not all women can deal with children and they are certainly
doing the child a favor not to become involved with them.Others have them but
shouldn't have them. Druggies, crooks, abusers all have children sometimes. They
shouldn't.
I spoke of those who do not
have children for selfish reasons,they don't want to spend the money, they don't
want the work, they don't want to lose their figure, they don't want the
responsibility, etc. Better not to have them, if we can't or won't take care of
them.
Properly done, a child
can cost more than a quarter million dollars over our working lifetime. If
parents who abuse them or neglect them had anything else
costing that much, they would take
care of it.
